This extraordinary game took place the other day in Bilbao. To say goodbye to long serving Striker Jose Etxeberria who is leaving after 15 years at the club.

100 local kids played against the first team of Bilbao.

Can you imagine if we did this at ER with 100 local kids, or Hibs kids getting to play against a weak hibs team. Would be great PR, and a great lifelong memory for those involved.

That was brilliantly mental!

The kids' first goal was a very good finish.

Also, some of the "kids" were as big as the pros!

SSN saying it was 200 kids, it was suppose to be 2 teams of 100 playing half hour each but they threw the other 100 on after they couldnt get a lead.

Playing the offside trap would've been a nightmare!

There was an asian team who did this as well, against 100 kids, where the proper team won 3-2 or something, was mental.
